A note on sources:

The Planning and Research, Residential Life, and Facilities websites occasionally exhibit conflicting numbers for built dates, square footage, and other data.  Where discrepancies were present, preference was granted first to information from Planning and Research websites.  When Residential Life and Facilities information, alone, conflicted, preference was given to information from Facilities websites.
